I have a hankering for a new frame. Either a ritchey Swiss cross or road logic.
Currently I’ve got two hard tails and a road bike. The road bike gets used pretty much solidly from march to October, hard tail no.2 (singlespeed) get used all winter and it’s my evening play bike if I ever get chance to go out. Ht no. 1 is a mid nineties legend/relic and has only been ridden a handful of times in the last 2 years.
Here’s my dithering…
The new frame/bike will be my workhorse bike used for all year commuting, the occasional fast ride, Sunday best, on road, light off road. Everything.
The road logic takes big tyres and will cope with tow path/smooth double track etc but I assume will flounder down the woods. The Swiss cross, well, is it likely to be ok at all things but good at none? I can’t see any opportunity for a test ride so I’ll be buying on intuition.
What way do I go, or do I stick with what I’ve got?
